Glenn Youngkin, good man as he seems to be, is not a stand-in for active and engaged parents. If they leave the field, he will not succeed.
Watch the video for a monologue followed by an interview with Russ Vought, former OMB director and current president of the Center for Renewing America, and Shaun Rieley, senior director for advancement and programs at The American Conservative, a doctor of political philosophy, and combat veteran of the War on Terror.
Tuesday was one heck of a night in Virginia. Virginia Democrat Terry McAuliffe went from a sure thing to the Hillary Clinton of 2021 — the man who had a layup of a race and choked. But along with all the good news there was some truly grisly stuff as well.
It was the kind of thing that reminds us why education is so important, why Tuesday’s vote was just a step in the right direction — and why the fight to save the children of Virginia is far from over.
After the obligatory applause for his family and campaign staff — whom he hysterically dubbed the finest campaign team ever assembled — human scumbag Terry McAuliffe told his crowd of acolytes what was most important to him; what was first in his heart. “The fight continues,” he promised. “We gotta make sure to protect women’s right to choose in the Commonwealth of Virginia.”
“Choose.” We all know what that means. They aren’t choosing their schools or what’s taught in them; Terry hates those ideas. He’s not talking about choosing what to wear or what to eat or what to watch on TV. No — there’s only one choice Terry cares about, and that’s the “right” to “choose” an abortion.
For those who don’t know, Virginia has a more obscene abortion regime than every single country on the planet aside from North Korea and China. For the left, defending that regime is all important. It’s the beating heart of the Democratic Party, if you will.
Sure, later on McAuliffe mentioned health care and education, but he wasn’t going in alphabetical order. In his heart, abortion is number one — just ahead of his family and far, far ahead of God.
There’s a truly sad aspect of this ghoulish spectacle: McAuliffe is a product of Catholic education. Seriously: Catholic junior high, Catholic high school, undergrad at the Catholic University of America, then law at Georgetown, the oldest ostensibly Catholic institute of higher learning in the United States.
What did he get for all that? He got this: A first-and-foremost devotion to abortion and selfish, libertine political values. Fifteen years of Catholic education, plus wherever he went to elementary school, and did we get a champion for Christ? A defender of the innocent? Far from it. We got a Herod-like figure, more a child of the Democratic Party and his selfish political ambitions than of the church.
He’s not alone: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, President of the United States Joe Biden — the church’s most famous and powerful children are all radically pro-abortion.
That’s a colossal failure. It’s kind of thing you get when you receive a religious education that is twisted until it is purely academic, and Jesus Christ is relegated to a feel-good rainbow in the sky.
Evil lurks in us all. Even with a proper education and a good family, it’s possible to go bad. But the lesson of Biden, Pelosi, and McAuliffe is when you don’t get that base — when you aren’t properly taught how to be good with a firm and solid education — well, it’s only a matter of time.
Now, for a moment, imagine an education that isn’t just wishy washy, but actively — actively — teaches you to hate; actively rejects God’s creation of man and woman; and actively attacks the truth that no matter what color our skin is on earth, in death we are all one body in Christ. Imagine the products of that education. It’s terrible to picture.
The Coming Fight For Virginia
That brings us to the very reason for Tuesday’s red sweep of Virginia, a blue state: The active indoctrination of children by teachers devoted to lies and to race hate. It was more than that — more uplifting than that, more beautiful than that, more powerful than that — parents of all ethnic backgrounds, economic situations, and political stripes uniting to say hell no.
Together, they deposed the Democratic majority that imposed this awful regime and replaced it with a Republican majority. Isn’t that wonderful, you might be thinking! But what’s next?
Here’s what’s next: Hard, vicious work that is not for the faint of heart. This isn’t the kind of thing where you win a single big battle and it’s all over, like in the movies; it’s more like a grinding counter-insurgency.
We’re up against teachers and principals and librarians fanatically committed to genderqueer studies and “anti-racism” in our classrooms; an army of psychologically fragile extremists who weren’t unelected Tuesday night, still have their jobs, and will be recording social media sob stories and imitating Gandhi as they lay their bodies across classroom thresholds and screech and writhe on live television.
Our enemies are well-funded — and they’ll be even more well-funded after Tuesday’s debacle. The victimizers of children will paint themselves as the victims of mean Republicans; they’ll fancy themselves “the resistance,” as we well know.
Every single fight they wage will be sympathetically blasted across CNN and MSNBC. The New York Times will movingly tell the story of a young woman from a broken home whose only dream was to grow up, become a librarian, and share her love of reading incestuous gay pornography with the little children; a woman whose dream was stolen by bigoted Ku Klux Parents.
Then there’s the lawyers: Not just hundreds of lawyers from rich progressive non-profits, but also the Department of Justice, with unlimited time and the full resources of the federal government. Do you think they’re going to sit by and watch Virginian parents just decide they’re going to have a say in their children’s education?
Transforming Tuesday’s Win Into A Lasting Victory
Let’s not get too down; Tuesday was wonderful. The first step was taken when parents woke up, the next when parents spoke up, and the third, last week, when they fired politicians across the state and replaced them with Republicans.
Republicans aren’t often quick to fight. For far too many, a majority is a trophy to be gingerly placed in a glass, back-lit cabinet and ooo’d and aww’d at until it turns to dust. Precious few Republicans see a majority for what it is: an invitation from the people to exercise power in their name.
The battle ahead will be hard. There is no time to pack up and go home. Glenn Youngkin, good man as he seems to be, is not a stand-in for active and engaged parents. If they leave the field, he will not succeed. If they stay and insist that he hold fast to the principles he ran on, then he has a chance.
The grassroots organizations and school board campaigns must continue. You don’t seize a castle, turn to your leader and say, “Alright, bloke, we’ve done our part and now we’re headed home. You’ve got it from here.”
No; we need to finish the fight — and win the war. We need good teachers — and there are a great many — who are sick of this insanity. We need protections in place to allow them to speak up. We need the state of Virginia to protect them from the vipers who surround them and want them crushed.
We need the school boards opened up. For months, these boards have used the police as a weapon against parents; it’s time to free the police from this role and reestablish the First Amendment in Virginia.
We need to identify the superintendents and principals and teachers and librarians who insist on teaching hate and pornography, and make sure they are fired with prejudice; damn The New York Times.
For too long, the norm has been that Democrats create new programs while in power, and then Republicans just try to not expand them too much or too quickly. Scuttle that strategy forever. A bad program is always bad, and they should be defunded immediately when we have power.
Thousands of activist monsters take state and federal money to warp our children. They need to be thrown out in the cold. Leave them penniless; they deserve even less.
The people we’re up against are the creatures who twisted little ol’ rural Loudoun County into a bastion of insanity in a few short years — and that’s just one county. There are more than 3,000 counties in this country, and they want to pull a Loudoun in every single one of them.
We need to think like they did to take it back: We’ve got to think like revolutionaries.
Make no mistake: The left brought this fight to our doors. In Virginia on Tuesday, parents answered their challenge. But there’s a reason we don’t call it the Culture Vote — and that’s because it’s the Culture War.
They lost, they and the 13 RINOs KNOW IT! Their TIME is short!
I hate that even Republicans have made this fight almost solely about “the children.”
Stop it! Children are a casually in the larger war. If we focus on this surface outcome, we’re certain to lose the whole thing, children and all.
Winning was the easy part. Now the people who elected them need to get engaged and change things.
The GOP is going to “ban” CRT and do a victory lap. They have no interest in engaging the Marxists and defeating them. That is a day to day political war they haven no interest in.

Children are indeed a casualty, however it comes from them being so un-defended for so long.
Progressives have been targeting our children for over a century because they know America isn’t with them. That’s why they changed their title from “progressive” to “liberal way back in the 1930s. The progressives lost. So they had to find another way.
Parents make a grave mistake in thinking that schools are merely babysitting centers. Schools are where the whole war begins.
We didn’t pick this. The progressives did. But we can’t afford to lose it.
It only takes one side to declare a war for a war to be currently ongoing.
*You don’t seize a castle, turn to your leader and say, “Alright, bloke, we’ve done our part and now we’re headed home. You’ve got it from here.” No; we need to finish the fight*
I did that with $50 to John Thune vs. tiny Tom Daschle(2004). Red state. Money well spent. Now he’s gone soft. Who’s gonna finish the fight by taking him out? A truck driver?

Agreed.
That’s the perils of having a “silent majority”. This isn’t the job of the politicians. It’s our job. Too many around us want to go to the ballot box, elect someone, and then wash their hands of it never to be seen again for the next two years.
That’s a failed ideology. We need to be involved every day in every aspect knowing full well that the fight never ends. We’ve seen time and again that when we win the election but lose the culture we lose. The culture is more important than the election, that’s the point.
I couldn't have said it better.
It starts in March next year-Texas. Should Abbott be gone? After 8 years I say yes. West would be a good change of pace, especially against the wannabe Mexican Beto. No one to step up against Thune, Hoven, Grassley, or Crapo. Filing deadlines are Feb. 28(Id.,Iowa), June 7(SD), June 14(ND). Don’t count on anyone stepping up. Youngkin can apply his lower-level-Trump support to Governor races
